Q6. Poisson distribution. If the arrival rate follows Poisson distribution and equal to 12 patients/hour, 1. what is the probability to have 1 patients in 10 minutes? 2. What is mean, sd, and variance

Step 1
Given lambda = 12 patients/hour, we need to convert it to patients/minute for 10 minutes. New lambda = (12 patients/hour) / 60 minutes/hour * 10 minutes = 2 patients/10 minutes = 2 patients/10 minutes Show more…

Poisson Distribution 2) Historical data show that the average number of patient arrivals at the intensive care unit of General Hospital is 3 patients every 2 hours. Assume that the patient arrivals are distributed according to a Poisson distribution. Determine the probability of at least 3 but no more than 8 patients arriving in a one-hour period. (10 points)
